Republicans must not tolerate the violence of Greg Gianforte | Lucia Graves Read moreA mugshot would likely be used against Gianforte when he runs for re-election in the 2018 midterm election. Prosecutors filed the assault charge later that day and Gianforte pleaded guilty in June, shortly before being sworn in at the Capitol in Washington DC. His attorneys argued that Gianforte should not have to be photographed and fingerprinted because he was never actually arrested. Gianforte attracted more than $116,000 in campaign donations after admitting the assault, according to reports. Jacobs’ glasses, which were broken in the assault, were put on display in the Newseum in Washington DC.
